A/N : Where are all my reviewers?.I'm sorry it's been a while.I think you'll find that Valerie has been women's champion for a while now,the reason for this is that Valerie has had to forfeir title-shots so many times,I thought it'd be nice to let her have the title for a while,don't worry she wont have it forever.Lots of talking in this one,forgive me.
Smackdown : 15-08-2002.
Valerie winced as she stretched her left shoulder,for some reason her shoulder still hurt from the scoop slam she received from Chris Nowinski the previous Raw.She knew it wasn't suppose to hurt anymore but it did and she couldn't help but consider herself weak.
She was currently sitting in the gym in Detroit Michigan where Smackdown would be taking place.She had been working out for a while when suddenly the pain in her shoulder got worse and she had to stop.She couldn't afford to be weak,she had a match against Jazz that night.
Valerie jumped when she felt two very strong hands on her waist.She got up,turned around and looked up,looking straight into her boyfriend's blue eyes.Brock smiled and Valerie put her arms around him.
"Hey,what brings you over here?" Valerie asked,smiling.
"You looked a little spaced out,I thought I'd check on you" Brock said as he wrapped his arms around Valerie.
"Spaced out?.How so?" Valerie asked.
"You were staring at nothing" Brock said.
"I wasn't talking to myself was I?" Valerie asked anxiously.
Brock chuckled.He frowned when Valerie rubbed her shoulder.
"What's wrong with your shoulder?" Brock asked.
"It still hurts a little,it's nothing" Valerie said.
Brock looked sceptical but didn't press the issue.
"Brock,let's go,we got work to do" Paul Heyman called from the other side of the gym.
Brock sighed and kissed Valerie on the lips,chuckling when he caught Valerie scowling at Heyman.
"I'll leave you to your staring" Brock teased.
Valerie mock glared at Brock who winked at her and walked off after Heyman.Valerie sighed as she went back to her work-out program,she had a lot to do.
***
Valerie moaned as she got backstage after her match against Jazz.She had beaten Jazz after a long match,making Valerie grateful that her father trained her for longer matches as well,and she was still the Women's Champion.
When Valerie pinned Jazz to the mat the entire arena errupted in cheers but Valerie couldn't even bring herself to smile.Her shoulder now hurt so much she could barely move it and she had almost bitten the referee's head off when he tried to raise her left hand.
Valerie slowly walked into the dressingroom she shared with Brock,something she still wasn't all that happy about considering Paul Heyman's urge to just barge in without knocking.She locked herself in the bathroom and carefully stripped herself of her clothes.
She grimaced as she saw the blue marks on her shoulder.What the hell did Nowinski do to cause this?,Valerie thought as she looked at her shoulder.She took a long shower and dressed herself.She figure she would go to see the company doctor just to see if anything was wrong.
The doctor told her that her shoulder had taken a tremendous blow at some point and that she needed to take it easy for a while.Valerie couldn't imagine that a scoop slam was what caused such an injury but she told the doctor she would take it easy,at least until Raw.
Raw : 19-08-2002.
Valerie looked around the parking-lot and sighed.He was late,she had been waiting for him for over a half hour and he still hadn't arrived.Just as Valerie was about to head back into the building a black limo pulled up and she decided to wait and see who it was.
As she had hoped it was Triple H.He stepped out and was greeted by a very happy red-head.Valerie jumped into his arms and hugged him,not caring if he was a heel or not.She had seen what he did to Christian the previous Raw and she loved it.
"Thank you" Valerie whispered.
"You're welcome kiddo,you're welcome" Triple H whispered back.
Valerie smiled as Triple H put her down again and they both said goodbye.Valerie walked into the hallway and almost yelped when she saw who was coming her way.The Big Show backed Valerie into the wall and smirked at her.What the Big Show didn't know was that Triple H was still around.
"Well,well,well.Looks like today will be my lucky day" the Big Show said mockingly.
"Think again asshole" Triple H said behind him.
The Big Show turned around and was met with Triple H's fists.Triple H and the Big Show fought until the Big Show retreated.
"I'll get back to you,little Valerie" the Big Show said before leaving.
Triple H wanted to attack him again but Valerie grabbed his arm and said:
"Hunter,no.He's not worth it"
Triple H nodded and turned to Valerie.His shoulders relaxed and he let his guard down completely.
"Are you alright?" Triple H asked.
"Why wouldn't she be?" a voice called from down the hall.
Valerie and Triple H looked at the owner of the voice and Valerie smiled brightly.
"Hi dad" she said.
Taker smiled and put his arm around his daughter,making sure not to touch her shoulder too much. Taker turned to Triple H and said:
"Why wouldn't she be alright?"
"I think she should tell you that,I gotta be going" Triple H said.
Triple H tugged on a strand of Valerie's hair and smiled.
"Take care of yourself" Triple H said.
"I will" Valerie said.
Triple H left and Taker frowned.He took a deep breath and looked at his daughter.
"Do I need to ask again or are ya gonna tell me what's going on?" Taker asked.
Valerie hesitated but spoke before Taker could say anything.
"The Big Show harassed me and…" Valerie said.
That was enough for Taker.
"When?" Taker asked.
"A minute ago" Valerie said.
"Where did he go?" Taker asked.
"Dad,please…" Valerie said.
"It's alright" Taker interrupted "Daddy isn't gonna do anything he shouldn't.I'm gonna do this the right way,I'll go to the ring and I'll call him out"
"Dad,you don't have to" Valerie said.
"Yes I do,I'm your father,it's my duty" Taker argued.
"I don't want you to feel obligated" Valerie muttered.
Taker saw the sulky expression on his daughter's face and said:
"Babygirl,you know I'm not doing this just because I feel obligated,I'm doing this because I love you" Taker said.
"I know" Valerie said.
Taker escorted Valerie back to her lockerroom where she would be safe until her match.Valerie watched as her father went out to the ring and called the Big Show out.Instead of the Big Show,Test came out.Valerie frowned and thought:I don't like where this is going.
Taker fought Test but was attacked by Christian and Lance Storm.A wave of emotions came crashing over Valerie,fear,disgust and anguish.Her father was being beaten and there was nothing she could do.Thankfully Booker-T and Goldust came out and helped her father.Never thought I'd be cheering those two guys.
Booker-T challenged the Unamericans to a match against the three of them and the Unamericans accepted.Valerie looked on as her father stumbled backstage,she had promised her father that she would stay in her lockerroom and she didn't wanna break another promise but she was anxious to find out how her father was doing.
Taker turned out to be alright and he made Valerie promise that she wouldn't come out during the match,no matter what happened.Valerie promised.Taker noticed some reluctance and said:
"I mean it Joyful,I don't wanna see you get hurt"
"I'll get hurt when you're not looking then" Valerie joked.
"Joyful…"
"Geez dad,I was joking.I wont come" Valerie said.
Taker smiled and Valerie smiled back.Things were cool between them and Taker was glad.
***
Valerie shook her head as she watched Trish take on Stacy in a bra and panties mud match courtesy of Eric Bischoff.That man had a way of making a mess of everything and why Vince McMahon would appoint him as general manager was beyond Valerie.
Trish defeated Stacy in the match as was to be expected and Valerie was glad.Maybe now Bischoff will give Trish some real matches to wrestle.
Valerie tensed up as she watched the Unamericans wrestler Taker,Booker-T and Goldust.She sighed sadly as the Unamericans defeated her father and his team mates.She had not expected that to happen.She checked her watch and sighed again.It was nearly time for her match.The Big Show would face RVD and her match would be about ten minutes after that.
Valerie grimaced as she watched the Big Show come out.RVD came out not long after that,Valerie hadn't talked to RVD in a while,she didn't know why but she guessed it was because they just didn't run into eachother.Maybe that should change.
About five minutes later the match was nearing it's end and Valerie watched in horror as the Big Show lifted the ring steps over his head to hit RVD with them.Jamal and Rosey came out at Bischoff's orders however and they took the Big Show out.
As Rosey and Jamal walked to the back Rosey said into the camera:
"How's that for someone our own size,little Valerie?"
Valerie rolled her eyes as she got up and walked to the door.She walked out and into the hallway,she was going to go see RVD.As she stood at the entrance waiting for RVD to get there,Eric Bischoff walked by along with Rosey and Jamal.
"Ah Valerie,it's good that you're here,I've been meaning to wish you luck for your match,I'm sure it'll be a great match" Eric said,before walking in the other direction.
"I thought you said no one cared about women's wrestling" Valerie said.
Eric stopped walking and looked flustered for a few seconds before he smiled.
"You're different,you're the WWE Women's Champion" Eric said.
Eric winked at Valerie and he,Rosey and Jamal walked off.
"Creep" Valerie muttered.
"I hope you're not talking about me" a voice said behind her.
Valerie turned around and smiled brightly.
"Of course not,are you alright?" Valerie asked.
"Yeah,I'm okay.Thanks for checking on me" RVD said with a smile.
"That's what friends are for" Valerie said.
RVD smiled even wider,displaying his dimples and said:
"We haven't talked in a while"
"I know,sorry about that" Valerie said.
"Don't be,maybe we should go for a cup of coffee some time" RVD said.
"That would be great" Valerie said.
"We'll still be here tomorrow,so how about then?" RVD asked.
"Tomorrow sounds great,I'll meet you in the hotel lobby at say 1 o'clock?" Valerie asked.
RVD nodded and Valerie smiled.Valerie said goodbye and went back to her lockerroom.

Valerie winced a little as the very loud cheers rang through her ears.She smiled brightly as she walked around the ring,not believing her eyes when she saw her boyfriend and his manager sitting in the crowd.Brock got up as Valerie walked up and smiled at her.Valerie shook her as she hugged him.
"Tell me you're not here to make trouble" Valerie said.
"I'm not here to make trouble" Brock said.
"Why is it I don't believe you?" Valerie asked.
Brock shrugged but didn't say anything.Valerie kissed him on the lips and sighed.
"What am I gonna do with you?" she asked.
Brock grinned as Valerie walked away from him.Valerie stepped into the ring and waited for Molly's arrival.Molly came out with an air of arrogance around her and Christopher Nowinski right behind her.
"Great" Valerie muttered.
Molly got into the ring as Nowinski stayed outside it.The match was short but harsh,especially so on Valerie's shoulder.Nowinski was trying to distract but everytime he locked eyes with Brock Lesnar he changed his mind.
Valerie won the match and remained the Women's Champion but her shoulder was hurting,hurting so badly she could barely move.Valerie gasped in pain as the referee touched her shoulder and collapsed onto the mat.For a second Valerie could hear voices around her and then everything went black.
